  3. Follow these 6 steps and the Ted Talk Planning Guide to create the script for your Ted Talk! After you write your script, you’ll need to start practicing it and timing yourself so you can get to 4-5 minutes! How to Write an Awesome Ted Talk! Step #1: Hook What are you going to do to begin your Ted Talk? Step #2: The Talk Itself Start with bullet points. What broad points are you going to cover in your Ted Talk? After you write out the bullet points, then go back and write out the sentences you will say. Step #3: Evidence Remember you need at least 2 quotes/evidence/authority! Step #4 Conclusion Restate your main points – think of a way to tie up the loose ends of your talk and leave us feeling closure. Step #5: Images What pictures/images are you using to go along with your Ted Talk? Put the pictures into a Google Slide Presentation and remember to submit it on Google Classroom BEFORE you present! Step #6: SAY THANK YOU! That’s how we know you’re done so we don’t wait awkwardly wondering if it’s time to clap yet!

  4. Ted Talk Intro/Hook Step #1: Hook What are you going to do to begin your Ted Talk? To get everyone interested in your presentation? Think of a story, maybe something funny or something emotional, a great quote or even a joke! You could also use a shocking statistic or a deep, thoughtful question. Do what goes best with your topic!

  11. After watching the Ted Talk(s) think about . . . • What was the Ted Talk topic/claim? • What kind of hook did it have? • What was the conclusion like? • How was the research presented? • Other aspects that made it successful? (Answer these on your notes!)

  12. ExampleIf your topic was . . . • China’s One Child Policy • What type of hook would go well with this topic? • Real life example • Statistic • Deep thoughtful question

  13. Your Turn • Returned Research Papers • Use them to refresh your memory about your topic and to answer questions on your planning guide. • Answer questions #1-3 from planning guide • Create a Google doc: “Ted Talk Script” • Create your hook! • Check off with Mrs. Reyes

  14. Begin Creating a Script:Question #4 on Planning Guide We start with bullet points to get you thinking of what broad points you are going to cover in your Ted Talk. After you write out the bullet points, then go back and write out the sentences you will say. • On your Google doc “Ted Talk Script” - Answer at least four of those questions. • Then create your bullet point outline of what you will speak about in your Ted Talk.

  15. Incorporate your evidence • Remember you need at least 2 quotes/evidence/authority! • This comes directly from your research paper!  Add it to your “Ted Talk Script” • BUT . . . If you need to add more research or get better research you can do so!

  16. Conclusion • Signal the end in some way (so we know you’re wrapping up!) • In conclusion, • To summarize, (HINT: TRANSITIONS!) • Key take-away! Boil your ideas down to 1 sentence – the most important thought! • Call to Action. Ask audience to do something! • Clincher – share one last story, statistic, quote, etc. (Go back to your hook) • Say “Thank you” – so we ALL know you’re done! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBO0riisOzU How to end a presentation First 60 seconds are repetitive, can skip

  17. Images – minimum of 3 You need at least 3 high-quality, relevant images that you can show while you are presenting your Ted Talk. The images must be school appropriate. You can use some graphs, tables, etc. showing statistics or information about your topic. You can prepare the images or take them from online. NOTE: You must give credit to any image you take online!

  18. Final: Step 6

  19. Reminder • Again – in your conclusion make sure you say “Thank you” – to signal that you are finished.
